Let's divide 719079 by 72
We want to figure out the number of times 719079 can be divided by 72.

On to step 1:
7 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 71 / 72

Step 2:
72 goes into 71 0 times with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 71, we end up with 71.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 71 and continue with: 719 / 72

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 719 by 72, we get 9 with a remainder of 71.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 648 from 719 and we're left with 71.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 710 / 72

Let's proceed to step 4:
72 can be fit into 710 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 99.0
Subtract 648 from 710 to get 62.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 62 and continue with: 627 / 72

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 627 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 51.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 998.0
If we subtract 576 from 627, we get 51.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 519 / 72

Advancing to step 6:
The number 72 fits into 519 7 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9987.0
Subtracting 504 from 519 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 7:
72 goes into 150 2 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 9987.2
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 144 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 60 by 72, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9987.2
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 600 by 72, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9987.208
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 576 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 240 by 72, we get 3 with a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9987.2083
If we subtract 216 from 240, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 72 fits into 240 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9987.20833
If we take 216 away from 240, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 9987.20833, and the remainder is 2.4e-05.
